What players say
Players describe Babolat RPM Power as a softer, livelier cousin of RPM Blast, trading a bit of spin bite for extra comfort and easy power. Reviewers agree it suits players who hit flatter and want a forgiving co-poly, though a few note it can feel less locked-in on spin than RPM Blast and isn't the most durable choice for heavy topspin hitters.
Best for
- Players who hit flatter and want drive
- Arm-friendly co-poly alternative
- Reviving dead/older frames
- All-court comfort seekers
Pros
- Above-average comfort for a co-poly, easy on the arm
- Lively, powerful feel that helps drive the ball through the court
- Good control and tension retention over a full stringing
- Still produces solid spin despite the softer feel
Cons
- Not as spin-friendly or locked-in as RPM Blast
- Can feel like it sprays the ball for players wanting more control bite
- Durability is middling for heavy topspin players in open patterns

I wouldn't perhaps call this string 'power', but compared to Blast, it is definitely more lively and powerful
— Jonas Eriksson, Web
Good level of control, spin, and comfort throughout testing
— Bob, NV (Tennis Warehouse customer review), Web
Power, control, and, above all, its lasting time are some of the things that come to my mind when I use it.
— Tennis Warehouse customer reviewer, TEX, Web
Very nice feel and power. And tons of spin. Also comfortable.
